Summary: My fiance now wants to use Pimsleur's French CD's!
Comment: I bought the Pimsleur Spanish I cd's with very little experience with the Spanish language and my fiance, a native Spanish speaker, is very impressed with the speed that I've been learning and my accent.
My favorite aspect of the cd's is that they concentrate on very useful phrases and words. It also provides enough of a structure so it becomes easier and easier to learn new words and how they are used.
Another thing that I really like about these cd's is that you aren't just spoon fed every bit of information. There are points where you have to figure out how to use a new word based on your knowledge of similar words.
Yet another thing I like is that the topics that they choose for you to engage in are pretty funny. One conversation involves a man telling a woman that, although this man is his friend, he doesn't like spending time with him because he talks too much about nothing. It is enough to keep your attention.
My one complaint is that they slowly replace the English speaking narrator with a man speaking in Spanish. This second narrator speaks a bit too fast for me, so I usually end up only catching the last few words and guess what he is talking about based on the context of the words that I did catch. It isn't too bad and hasn't really been causing a problem until the 23rd or 24th lessons.
All in all, I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to learn Spanish and hasn't had much exposure. I will definately be trying the next in the series.

Summary: Painless way to learn another language
Comment: This is learning a language the way it was meant to be. The way we learn our own primary language...by hearing it. I have studied three other languages the "conventional" way, by learning to read and write, conjugating verbs and learning vocabulary with little thought to actual conversation. I can only speak a few words in these languages with much difficulty and pause to "translate". The Pimsleur tapes take the logical approach. I found that I could "get by" after just a few lessons. I hear Spanish now and can actually understand much of it as if I were listening to English. I did need to review each lesson at least one additional time, but that could just be my brain. I have purchased the Spanish II program, and plan to get the Spanish III when the time comes. I highly recommend this course.

Summary: Best way to learn spanish
Comment: This is an outstanding program, and if you use it on your commute like I did than it takes no time out of your day. I also was lucky enough to be able to get it from a local library so it didn't cost me anything. I just wish I had gotten started with it a year ago.
I tend to learn best by reading, so moving to a program without a visual reference was a little bit unsettling, but after using the program for a month I am a believer. This is the way to begin learning a language, or to use in conjunction with your class room study. What I like best is that the tapes are so varied, even though you spend a lot of time repeating words and sentences you have already learned they keep coming in a different order, different person or different plurality so you are constantly thinking. This has never felt like studying to me, its more like a game.
In terms of background, I had about 45 hours of intensive spanish lessons and two months of travel in latin america as a prep for this (followed by a six months break with no spanish practice). For me level one was just right, I didn't have to really struggle with the first part of the course but it was still a challenge to get the pronouciation just right. Don't wait, get started with this program now.
